If you're interested in giving the branch a go, you can clone it from [url=https://github.com/Aquanim/Zero-K]here[/url] into your \Zero-K\Games folder, then set !game zk:dev in a custom room. I would like to get some more opinions.

[spoiler]More 1v1 and small teams feedback is valuable, as is feedback from larger teams games where sea is one of multiple fronts (it's not been practical for me to test the latter thus far, but it is something that needs seeing.)[/spoiler]

Serpent is removed, probably permanently. Reef and Leviathan are disabled but may be re-worked and re-added. Sonar Station is owled into non-existence, it will be properly removed at some point. The Siren destroyer does not correspond to any previously existing unit, and I have neonstormed up a light carrier for if and when drone technology supports it.

I
don't
remember
changing
the
stats
of
Mariner
beyond
giving
it
sonar,
but
all
of
the
other
ships
have
had
at
least
one
significant
numbers
tweak
I
think.
Skeeter
(
->
Cutter)
,
Snake
(
->
Seawolf)
,
Crusader
(
->
Ronin)
and
Warlord
(
->
Shogun)
are
the
ships
which
conform
most
closely
to
their
old
roles.

Many ships are renamed because (1) many were TA names (2) some no longer fit after rework and (3) to maintain consistency with other new names. I will live with the inevitable "bawwww" on this account. Hunter retains its name... it probably fits better after being made a raider.
